20120121167FINITE DATASET INTERPOLATION METHOD - The invention provides a fast method for a high-quality interpolation of a finite multidimensional dataset. It has particular application in digital image processing, including, but not limited to, processing of both still images and real-time image/data processing. The method uses discrete cosine and sine transforms of appropriate types to covert, in blocks of desired size, the initial dataset to the frequency domain. Proposed interpolators calculate a chain of inverse transforms of non-square sizes that perform the interpolation. The larger transform is broken into smaller transforms of non-square size using a recursive size reduction process of FFT-type, and the smaller transforms are calculated directly exploiting the symmetry properties of smaller interpolator functions involved. An output dataset is then assembled using the calculated transforms. The method avoids computationally costly process of inflating the coefficient space by padding zeros exploited for DCT-based interpolations previously.05-17-2012

20090136857Correcting 3D Effects In Phase Shifting Masks Using Sub-Resolution Features - Using phase shifting on a mask can advantageously improve printed feature resolution on a wafer, thereby allowing greater feature density on an integrated circuit. Phase shifting can create an intensity imbalance between 0 degree and 180 degree phase shifters on the mask. An improved method of designing an alternating PSM to minimize this intensity imbalance is provided. Sub-resolution features, called “blockers”, can be incorporated in the alternating PSM design. Specifically, blockers can be formed in the 0 degree phase shifters. In this configuration, the intensity associated with the 0 degree phase shifters approximates the intensity associated with the corresponding 180 degree phase shifters. Intensity balancing using blockers retains image contrast, thereby ensuring printed feature quality.05-28-2009

20110216257ELECTRO-OPTICAL DEVICES USING DYNAMIC RECONFIGURATION OF EFFECTIVE ELECTRODE STRUCTURES - Variable liquid crystal devices for controlling the propagation of light through a liquid crystal layer use a frequency dependent material to dynamically reconfigure effective electrode structures in the device. The frequency of a drive signal that generates an electric field in the device may be varied, and the frequency dependent material has different charge mobilities for the different frequencies. At a low charge mobility, the frequency dependent material has little effect on the existing electrode structures. However, at a high charge mobility, the frequency dependent material appears as an extension of the fixed electrodes, and may be used to change the effective electrode structure and, thereby, the spatial profile of the electric field. This, in turn, changes the optical properties of the liquid crystal, thus allowing the optical device to be frequency controllable.09-08-2011
